Make France Great Again

On December 9, 1851, the French Third Republic was officially renamed the French Empire in the Legislative Council and the Senate. Flying on the roofs of the Tuileries Palace and the Elysée Palace, the tricolor flag symbolizing the beauty of the French Third Republic was adopted by the loyal court. The Guard was taken down and replaced by the tricolor with the emblem of the Bonaparte family added.

The change of the national flag and the name of the country means that the republic that lasted for more than three years has completely fallen into history since December 9, and France has once again returned to the embrace of the monarchy.

Although the establishment of an empire based on referendum is an anomaly in the eyes of a true monarchy, it is the greatest common denominator that the entire French people can tolerate.

Compared with the traditional monarchical empire, the revolutionary French Empire implemented policies through referendums and had a certain range of democracy.

Compared with the Republic during the Great Revolution, the Revolutionary French Empire was less fanatical and more rational, and was able to gain more goodwill than the Republic.

No one wants to deal with a country that likes to export revolution at every turn.

Of course, this does not mean that the French Empire does not have some shortcomings. The emperor who served in the Republic was born to lack something called sanctity in legal terms. This invisible and intangible thing actually affects the relationship between France and the European monarchies. .

Not to mention how Jérôme Bonaparte’s uncle repeatedly attacked European countries, so much so that many countries still have francophobia.

At the same time that Jerome Bonaparte announced the establishment of the French Empire, Vladimirovich, the ambassador of the Russian Empire, suddenly felt that the situation was gradually slipping towards the edge of war. While he sent personnel to report to the Russian Empire, Jerome Bonaparte When he proclaimed himself emperor, he went to the Tuileries Palace where Jerome Bonaparte lived to meet with Jerome Bonaparte.

At this time, Jerome Bonaparte was wearing a red royal cloak embroidered with a golden bee pattern on the outside, and a white robe on the inside. He wore an olive branch gold crown on his head, symbolizing the highest glory of France. He wears the Eagle Medal of the Order on his chest and holds the Eagle Staff in his right hand.

When Vladimirovich saw Jerome Bonaparte in this dress, he almost thought that the original emperor had returned to the world again.

Looking at the glum Russian Ambassador in front of him, Jérôme Bonaparte tapped the Persian red carpet on the ground with his eagle scepter, and asked with a smile on his face: "Why are you here in such a hurry, Mr. Ambassador?"

When Vladimirovich came back to his senses, he realized that the guy in front of him was just a despicable imitator. He quickly adjusted his condition and said coldly to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Excellency, I wonder if you Still remember what I said to the Russian Empire!"

"Huh?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked, pretending to be surprised, "What did I say before?"

"You told me back then that you would never choose to proclaim yourself emperor! The French Republic would never become an empire!" Vladimirovich emphasized word for word to Jerome Bonaparte.

"So it's this!" Jérôme Bonaparte suddenly realized. He smiled reservedly, and then replied righteously: "This is the will of all French people, and even I, as the supreme governor, cannot violate it!"

What the will of all France! After all, it’s just a show!

Of course Vladimirovich would not believe Jerome Bonaparte's lies. Since Jerome Bonaparte launched his coup, his own credibility in Vladimirovich's heart has been ruined.

As Vladimirovich's understanding of France became deeper and deeper, Vladimirovich became more and more convinced that Jerome Bonaparte's proclaimed emperor was only a matter of time.

However, he never thought that Jerome Bonaparte could be so impatient and choose to establish an empire so quickly.

Isn't he afraid of interference from the whole of Europe?

"Your Excellency, I think you should know some of the problems you may face after becoming emperor!" There was a hint of threat in Vladimirovich's words.

"Your Excellency Ambassador, the establishment of an empire does not mean the coming of war. I think the establishment of an empire means the coming of peace!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded unhurriedly: "Whether it is an empire or a republic! France will be committed to maintaining peace in Europe and will not engage in hegemonic power politics!"

Vladimirovich responded with a sneer: "I hope your Excellency will be responsible for his actions!"

With that, Vladimirovich left the Tuileries Palace without looking back.

Shortly after Vladimirovich left, Baron Huboy, the Austrian ambassador to France, also came to the Tuileries Palace.

Facing Jérôme Bonaparte in a COS coat, Baron Huboy also showed a horrifying expression.

Immediately afterwards, Jérôme Bonaparte and Baron Huboy had some discussions on the issue of proclaiming emperor.

"Your Majesty, I would like to congratulate you only on behalf of myself!" Baron Huboy said to Jérôme Bonaparte without missing a beat.

"Thank you for your congratulations. I also hope that there will be more people with lofty ideals like you in Austria..." Jerome Bonaparte responded to Baron Huboy.

Later, Baron Huboy expressed euphemistically that some "special" (mainly military aristocrats) groups in the Austrian Empire were likely to take some drastic actions as a result of Jerome Bonaparte's proclaimed emperor (Chen Bing was not excluded) Lombardy or making small moves in South Germany), he hoped that Jerome Bonaparte would not be angry because of these excessive actions, and at the same time assured Jerome Bonaparte that as long as Prime Minister Felix Schwarzenberg remained As foreign minister, he ensured that France and Austria would not really be at war with each other.

"The French Empire cherishes its friendship with the Austrian Empire, and we believe that the Austrian Empire will definitely stand with the French Empire. Although there may be some differences between our two countries, I believe that as long as the two countries join hands, they will be able to eliminate their differences. "Jerome Bonaparte once again used diplomatic terms to respond to Baron Huboy.

"I also believe that the friendship between the French Empire and the Austrian Empire can last forever!" Baron Huboy responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

After exchanging views, Baron Huboy left the Tuileries Palace under the farewell of the Lord Privy Seal de Morny.

After that, the diplomatic ambassador of Württemberg, the diplomatic ambassador of Bavaria, and the Sardinian dynasty came to the Tuileries Palace one after another. They implicitly expressed their support for Jerome Bonaparte as an individual to Jerome Bonaparte. Ba's attitude towards becoming emperor.

Jerome Bonaparte still expressed his gratitude to these diplomats who separated the individual from the collective.

Then they were invited one by one to participate in their coronation ceremonies. Except for the ambassador of Württemberg, the ambassadors of the remaining countries politely rejected Jérôme Bonaparte's suggestion.

Jerome Bonaparte certainly understood that the reason why they were unwilling to participate in his coronation ceremony was probably because the French Empire had not yet truly integrated into the mainstream countries of Europe.

Britain, Russia, Austria, and Prussia showed no real acceptance.

How can these countries dare to express their political stance without a clear stance from the first-class powers?

Württemberg is different. It belongs to Jérôme Bonaparte’s natal family. It is reasonable for King William of Württemberg to send someone to witness the coronation of his nephew.

If we investigate carefully, Württemberg, as one of the orthodox orders, certainly cannot participate in the coronation.

That night, Jérôme Bonaparte once again held the Bonaparte Conference at the Tuileries Palace.

In addition to members of the Bonaparte family, those attending this meeting were also some important Bonapartist figures, including Morny, Valewski, Saint-Arnault, Pesini, Magne, and Fuld. (idle at home), Palio and Pio, President of the Legislative Assembly.

The meeting discussed when and where the coronation should be held, and whether Pope Pius IX should be invited to France for the coronation.

"I think the sooner the coronation is done, the better! We have established an empire, and the empire cannot be without an emperor for a long time!" Morny, the Chancellor of the Privy Seal, first put forward his opinion. He obtained Pierre Bonaparte, Supported by Pesini, Palio and others.

"In fact, we don't have to rush the coronation ceremony, so that we can have more time to prepare for the coronation!" Mathilde Bonaparte, the eldest princess of the empire, raised objections. She hoped that Jerome Bonaparte would Tomoe's coronation could have been better. It would be even more perfect if Pius IX could come over.

The forces supporting Mathilde Bonaparte were also not small, including Valewski, President of the Legislative Assembly Pio and others.

In addition to these two factions, there are also neutral factions headed by Prince Montfort. They believe that the speed of the coronation depends entirely on Jerome Bonaparte's own wishes.

Jérôme Bonaparte thought for a moment, and after considering many aspects, he chose Morny's suggestion.

"The coronation ceremony should be sooner rather than later! I plan to hold the coronation ceremony on December 12! If Pius IX is not willing to come, there is no need to force him! With the support of more than 8 million French people, we do not need to use the Pope to prove ourselves! "Jerome Bonaparte made the final decision.

Having said that, look for Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuaｎ.com Jérôme Bonaparte still had some regrets in his heart.

If Pius IX's asking price was not too high (Pius IX asked Jerome Bonaparte to hand over all French education to the church, and also return part of the large-scale confiscation of territory to the church), he would still very much hope that Pius IX would The world can add a cloak of holiness to him.

There were expressions of joy on the faces of Morny and others.

After setting the coronation date, Jérôme Bonaparte turned to the issue of division of labor for the coronation ceremony.

Since the French Empire represents the will of all the French people, the legislative group representing the French public opinion must also participate in this coronation.

The important task of organizing the legislative group was given to Bio and Valewski, while Morny and others followed Jerome Bonaparte to participate in the grand event.
